Started treatment at last, they've put me on hormone therapy, tablets
(CASODEX) also injections once a month. I'll soon be contacted by the Oncologist . to talk about the radiotherapy that I'll have. Side effects sound rather alarming though.

Thanks for all the good advice, so far only side effects are a dry throat, but its very early days yet.
